Bryson DeChambeau’s girlfriend, Mikayla Demaiter, showed up in his orbit again this weekend, posting from a golf course on her Instagram Story on Sunday, August 23, as he played at The Club at Chatham Hills during LIV Golf Indianapolis. By Monday, the relationship that had been kept mostly private was suddenly being discussed in public in the same breath as a tournament finish, a reported kiss and a cryptic line from DeChambeau himself.
That is why people are searching for the Bryson Dechambeau Girlfriend story now. Demaiter, 26, also shared a mirror selfie in a polka-dot two-piece set with a white purse on her shoulder, while DeChambeau, 32, was in the middle of a weekend that ended with him tied for third place with Sergio Garcia. John Rahm finished second, and Michael La Sasso won, but the off-course attention followed DeChambeau as closely as the leaderboard did.
The relationship did not appear out of nowhere. Rumors about Bryson DeChambeau and Mikayla Demaiter began earlier this month at LIV Golf New York, when she was seen wearing a guest pass and a Crushers GC hat. Last week, Us Weekly confirmed they were an item and said the relationship is pretty new, with a source describing the pair as very happy and both pretty private when it comes to relationships. That privacy has held even as public sightings have started to pile up.
That is what gives the weekend appearance its edge. The Athletic reported on August 24 that DeChambeau kissed his girlfriend before leaving, and it also reported that he told the LIV broadcast on Sunday, “There’s something fun coming.” The line was vague, but the timing was not: it landed after a weekend in which Demaiter was visible, the relationship was newly public, and the speculation around them moved from social media posts to a golf event with a large audience.
Demaiter brings her own backstory to the attention. Before the posts and the tournament appearances, she was a goalie for the Bluewater Hawks of Canada’s Provincial Women’s Hockey League Junior League and retired at 19 because of an injury. DeChambeau, for his part, is a two-time U.S. Open winner, so the pairing links a rising public profile with one of golf’s most recognizable names.
What happens next is still the open part of the story, and DeChambeau has already hinted that something is coming. For now, the relationship has moved far enough into view to fuel interest, but not far enough to stop feeling guarded, which is exactly why a Sunday golf course photo and one reported goodbye kiss became the details readers keep chasing.
